Wearing supporters during thigh exercises?

[Salil]

Hello Friends,
Is it true that it is necessary to wear supporters while doing thigh exercises? How will not wearing a supporter affect one?

no, it is not true.

supporters ?????

Do you mean athletic supporter (aka, jock strap)?

By supporters I mean very tight underwear so that your balls are held firm. I have heard that if you do thigh exercises without supporters your balls could get deformed. I know it sounds funny but this is a very common thing I have heard.

I have my workout "partner" hold my balls so I am safe.

Gimp eh?

I just use a belt during squats (when I'm approaching my limit) but hadn't considered "The boys" as it were...
